Chapter 6: Yeti Among The Werewolves

Gabriel's POV:

She wanted me to sleep with her in her bedroom inside the pack house, but I wanted her to stay with me inside the cavern. We were trying to work out a compromise. I had moved most of my clothes into her closet in her bedroom. I left a few things in the cavern. Living with a pack was new to me. There wasn't very much privacy and everything I did basically was being observed but I was trying my best to get along.

They had never seen a Yeti before and I get that; however, being constantly stared at by curious wolves was starting to get on my nerves. I wasn't used to getting so much attention after living a solitary existence.

Her overprotective father wanted her to stay inside the pack house and continued to have guards stationed outside of her door. I don't know who he expected the guards to protect her from that I could not?

I imagined that the guards were there to protect her from me. Like they even could. It made me laugh. I would never hurt my mate, but I would make short work of the guards posted outside. They couldn't defend her against me, but if it made her father feel better, I would go along, for now.

I had gone to training camp this morning with her father to introduce myself to the wolf warriors. I noticed some things that I would like to improve upon in their training. If her father would allow me, I would like to train them myself or in coordination with their current pack trainer. I didn't want to make waves, but I also wanted our warriors to be as strong and skilled as possible.

We never know when another attack could come, and I wanted them to be able to take down a werebear rather than being injured or killed by one. We were sitting ducks here and I didn't like that. I promised the Alpha that I would help him defend this pack and in order to do so efficiently, some changes were going to need to be made to both the training and the infrastructure.

I was not willing to take no for an answer on that. Changes would be made. Infrastructure would be built. If anyone had a problem well, too bad. I am the mate of the Alpha's daughter, and he has no son. That make ME the future Alpha. Otherwise, I will take my mate and go. Nothing they could do to stop me. I will not have my mate in harm's way.

I decided to sketch out the infrastructure I wanted to build. I figured it would be easier for the Alpha to understand if he had a picture. I was going to give him the opportunity to approve my plans out of courtesy. Allowing him to feel like I was respecting his Alpha position.

The truth: however, was that this was going to happen ASAP regardless of his permission. I wasn't going to tell him that yet because I am confident that he will approve. My ideas are efficient, logical, and affordable; but again, I could just take my mate and go. I will protect her above all else.

When I was finished with my sketch I went directly to his office. I did not care if he was busy or in another meeting. He would be available for me, one way or another.

When I got there, he was in a meeting, as I expected, with the pack trainer. I knocked twice and didn't wait for his answer as I barged right in. I turned around and leveled the pack trainer with a glare an told him to get out. I saw his eyes go wide with shock and fear before scurrying out and closing the door.

I saw the same fear and intimidation in the Alpha's eyes, but he remained stone faced. Good for him. "Gabriel, what can I do for you?" he asked. "You can hear about the changes I will be making to both the warrior training and the infrastructure of this pack," I say to him, no longer caring about his approval.

I had heard the pack trainer's voice coming down the hallway as I walked up to the Alpha's office. The trainer was complaining about my intrusion on today's training.

He was whining to his Alpha behind my back like a child rather than coming to me like a man and asking to talk. I understood his fear, but I didn't appreciate the Alpha entertaining his trash talking. I felt disrespected. Nobody disrespects me. To think, I had actually attempted not to make waves earlier.

"I have to approve these changes, Gabriel, I am the Alpha," he said with condescension in his tone. " I growled and threw my sketches at him. "Here, get to approving then!" I challenged.

"Gabriel, I understand that you are new to pack life but there is a hierarchy here and I will not be disrespected," he said. "Neither will I!" I growled at him. "When did I disrespect you?" he asked. "By allowing your trainer trash-talk me and not stop him," I roared.

"Aww someone said something mean about you and you got upset? Poor baby." he mocked with a smirk on his face. "I didn't think someone like you would even care." he challenged.

The next thing I know, my fist comes down onto his desk, immediately breaking it in half. I grab the prick by his shirt collar and lift him out of his chair in one hand. I slam him against the wall and look down at him, seething with anger, as I speak. "That will be the last fucking time you ever speak to me like that and live. If there is a next time, I will kill you, that trainer, and anyone else who gets in my way. Then I will take my mate and leave!" I roar menacingly at him. My blood boiling.

I smirk, seeing the horror in his eyes. He clearly didn't know who he was messing with. "Temper, temper, he says," raising his hands up in mock surrender. "I approve of your plans," he said. "Not that I needed it," I growl at him as I put the fucker back down in his chair. My ears pick up on some of his guards running down the hallway. What are they going to do? Nothing.

I open the door to his office and storm out. I continue to storm off down the hallway, shoulder checking his guards and causing them to fall down. I continue down the hallway and head back to Nicole's room. I sit on her bed and kick back to rest my head on her pillows. After dinner, I will begin to plan out my new training for the wolf warriors. I smile as I ponder how I am going to punish that trainer for trying to undermine me.
